St. Albans Judo Club5 months ago🥋 As we get closer to being back together in person, it's great to see the Zooms still going strong. 👍
👉 Last Wednesday we worked on groundwork, and had a try at working in pairs (with each "window" doing one role) - successful for some, less so for others, but a great new way to see if what we're learning is "sticking" 😃
Followed by some gentle work on transition from throw to hold, with our judoka siblings, or using our pillows (or parents, where they were willing! 😉)St. Albans Judo Club5 months agoCautiously optimistic after today's announcement from the Government - but it's too early to speculate too much. 🤞
We will, of course, issue a full club-wide update as & when we have any hard & fast information for you.St. Albans Judo Club6 months agoDuring November 2020 the IJF ran a Kids "Golden League" fitness competition and around 5400 kids from 51 countries took part in 16 different exercise challenges.
The UK came 8th overall, with 157 people taking part, including club member Elwyn.
He wasn't one of the lucky ones to receive a prize but he did receive a Certificate from the IJF 😄
🥋 Congratulations Elwyn! 👍

St. Albans Judo Club7 months ago🥋Well done to all that took part in last night's Virtual Dojo, around 30 of you (possibly a couple more if we count the extras roped in for various parts).
We had a slightly different session this week - as there'd been some action on the World judo stage earlier in the day, the World Masters in Doha, we took the opportunity to watch GB Olympian Natalie Powell's Quarter Final contest & Ippon win, then broke into small (roughly grade based) groups to talk about the differences and similarities between contests for these top class athletes and our own experiences of randori & shiai at club and area level.
(For some of the youngest who've joined during lockdown, it was their first exposure to any contest judo at all).
Having identified the winning technique as one we have worked on a lot during our virtual & socially distanced sessions (O-uchi-gari), all were able to see that even the most basic movements we practice can be used at the highest levels.
So we practiced it some more 🤣
BTW - If you visit us in the dojo, you'll *never* see this lot as still or as quiet as they were for this part of the session!
